 MT Eber Peters, who was seriously injured by fall on the ice about two weeks ago, is recovering slowly, but as he is 90 years of age it is doubtful whether he will fully recover.

But the very name of the month upon which we have just en- tered, ought to be enough to put old Winter off his base and start him on the double-quick There is also something suggestive in the name to many who live in hired houses-the packing up of household goods, the confusion of pre- paration for the annual march out of one house into another-the time is at hand, and some families in our town are already on the move. There will be many changes in this vicinity this spring.
